G'day All,-----
Sorry for putting this in here but I thought it was the most likely place for most people to see it, and it seems that some may still not be reading the "sticky notes" posted at the top of the major forums.-----

If you are waiting to have you membership at Zone Five activated or if you have found your account has been banned accidentally;-----

We have a problem with large numbers of spammers trying to access the site using bogus registrations, and we are taking measures to try and ensure that only valid members are allowed access.-----

In order to help us with this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could include some relevant information, of your own choice, in the personal details section of your profile. This will help us confirm and activate your membership as soon as possible.-----You can delete it as soon as we have activated your membership if you have any privacy concerns. We are only interested in trying to differentiate legitimate members from possible spammers/ bogus accounts. We're not asking for anything you are not comfortable to provide, or anything particularly sensitive. There must be something simple that you can add that would just illustrate that you are a genuine member and not a spammer? We can't say what to add because the spammers could just read this and find another way through. It's not so much about what you add or about "vetting" members (We probably spend less than a second looking at it), but purely an effort to keep out unwanted spammers. Nothing else.-----

Without this information, there is a VERY good chance your account will not be approved.

I'd look for a Cessna 337 plan instead of an O-2. There are still quite a few of em at local airports to take shots of. I know there is one at the AF Museum on display, and as such, it's been photographed a lot. IIRC, it might be hanging from the ceiling, but theres a lot of pics out there. Hope my rambling helped, I have the same project in 72nd and 48th.
